得胜的基督-第67章
“遍地不都在你眼前吗?请你离开我:你向左,我就向右;你向右,我就向左”(创13:9)。{CTr 72.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第67章
If thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.Genesis 13:9.{CTr 72.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第67章
亚伯拉罕受到考验,看看他是否能听从上帝的声音。上帝看出他若留在本乡和亲戚之中,不利与他的最高属灵利益,因为他无法对他们发挥影响,成为他们的福惠。祂吩咐亚伯拉罕离开他们。亚伯拉罕非常富有,但他却以最大的单纯之心听从上帝的话出去,寄居到异地去。当他离开他的本家和本族时,上帝向他保证,他会在迦南地获得属世的强大和兴盛。{CTr 72.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第67章
Abraham was tested to see whether he would hear the voice of God and obey. The Lord saw that it was not for his best spiritual interest to remain in his country and among his relatives, where he could not exert that influence over them that would be a blessing. He told him to leave them. Abraham was a rich man, but in the greatest simplicity he obeyed God and went out, a sojourner into a strange country. As he left his home and his kindred, God assured him that he would have earthly greatness and prosperity in the land of Canaan.{CTr 72.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第67章
为什么亚伯拉罕不利用自己的财富营造这种兴盛呢?为什么他不将自己的财产加以投资,获得财富和影响,超过他所接触的所有人呢?亚伯拉罕不作任何荣耀自己的事。他不热衷权势,不贪图声望,不建造城市,以自己的名字命名。他知足常乐。{CTr 72.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第67章
Why did not Abraham make use of all his means to bring about this prosperity? Why did he not invest his means to enrich himself with wealth and influence above anyone with whom he was brought in contact? Abraham did not do anything to glorify himself. He did not aim at power. He did not aspire to greatness by building up cities and calling them by his name. He was content.{CTr 72.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第67章
圣经告诉我们,他带他的侄儿罗得,共同生活了一段时期。但他们的家庭很大。亚伯拉罕的牧人和罗得的牧人因牲口而起了争执。“亚伯兰就对罗得说:"你我不可相争,你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相争,因为我们是骨肉。遍地不都在你眼前吗?"”…… {CTr 72.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第67章
The record tells us that Abraham took Lot, his nephew, with him, and for a time they lived together. But their families were large, and there was a quarrel between the herdsmen of Abraham and the herdsmen of Lot over their cattle. “And Abraham said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. Is not the whole land before thee?” ...{CTr 72.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第67章
罗得所选的是所多玛地。亚伯拉罕住在迦南地,罗得住在平原的城市,朝着所多玛支搭帐棚。但所多玛的人在上帝面前罪大恶极。{CTr 72.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第67章
Lot’s choice was the land of Sodom. Abraham dwelt in the land of Canaan and Lot in the cities of the plain, and he pitched his tent toward Sodom. But the men of Sodom sinned before the Lord exceedingly.{CTr 72.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第67章
我们在这里看到另一种分离。这种分离在何时和如何发生,有着很大的关系。罗得有权进行调查,谨慎他所去的地方,谨慎他选择安家的环境。但他不考虑居民的状况,只选择美丽和能带来大量回报的地带。罗得由于自己的选择,进去时富裕,出来时两手空空。人置身于能获得正确影响最大帮助的环境,或选择暂时的利益,是有很大差异的。有许多道路通向所多玛。我们的眼睛需要涂上眼药,以看请通往上帝的道路。(Letter 1899.109){CTr 72.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第67章
Here is brought to view another separation. It makes a great difference when and how a separation takes place. It was Lot’s privilege to inquire, to be very careful where he should go, very careful in regard to the society he chose for his family. But without reference to the inhabitants, he chose a land that was beautiful in situation, that promised great returns. Lot went in rich, and came forth with nothing as the result of his choice. It makes every difference whether people place themselves in positions where they will have the very best help of correct influences or whether they choose temporal advantages. There are many ways that lead to Sodom. We all need anointed eyesight, that we may discern the way that leads to God.—Letter 109, 1899.{CTr 72.6}[6]
